Layoffs?

Bull. Diabetes meds are paying the bills.

 

There is a hiring freeze and that’s never a good sign.

 

There has been a hiring freeze all year. The exceptions are onc, DSM's and very high priority territories

 

Try asking your fake CI vendor Sedulo Group. They can make up all the answers and clear this right up!

 

HR insider here....even Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Helen Keller can see that the field sales force is “overpopulated”. Layoffs in Q4. It is confirmed.

 

Did someone say Diabetes? Overpopulated, for sure!

 

Theres a greater chance of North Dakota becoming an island than AZ having layoffs. I've hoped for 5 years for a severance. Ain't gonna happen.

 

If you aren't in Oncology you are at risk. AZ has been structured into 2 companies; Oncology and "everything else". If you are in the "everything else" part of AZ you are at risk.

 

Tralokinumab was ineffective for asthma. Fasenra was ineffective in COPD. Now anifrolumab is ineffective in Lupus.

Looks like oncology is the only viable place left.

 

Oh,wouldn't it be wonderful to finally get out with a severance package after all these years of waiting (2012). But, it's just not going to happen people. We will seriously be here until we resign with nothing or mess up and get fired. So,so many at least left with dignity the last couple of layoffs with a paycheck. AZ is going to just try to get people to leave. No severence packages or self identify EVER again. Bet on it.

 

AZ will never do self identify again without qualifiers. The ones who were within 3 years of retiring jumped at the chance the last time and left with significantly more money than if they had stayed. AZ paid them to do what they were going to do anyway and they laughed all the way to the bank. Ain't never going to happen again.

 

Not so fast my friend! Generic Advair will turn the respiratory market upside down. Initially it won’t affect primary care but it WILL affect hospitals. Hospitals that currently have Symbicort on formulary will drop it. The domino effect will begin and primary care customers will follow. The reps that have ridden the Medicaid wave will suffer because states will drop Symbicort and pick up generic Advair.

It might take a year but AZ will have layoffs.

 

We don't get paid for Medicaid

 

and those hospitals that are DSH may still have a better price with Symbicort as well as 340B.
Look back at history....Here's a couple. Crestor was a multi-billion dollar drug in a class that was 100% generic. Nexium grew to $6B when there was a generic Prilosec and Prevacid. It can be done.

 

Things were very different “back then” and there’s no head to head data like there was for Crestor!

 

Ye' of little faith.

 

That’s because you’re a jackwagon...
